max. Anzahl an Zeichen im Literaturverzeichnis für URL erweitern
Guten Tag liebe Community,
mit dem nachstehenden Anliegen habe ich mich bereits an den Kundensupport gewendet.
Fallnummer 1021895251
Jedoch legt die Lösung ein wenig Verständnis für VBA Programmierung voraus. Dies fehlt mir.
Word bietet die Möglichkeit Literaturverzeichnisse anzufertigen. Leider ist die maximale Anzahl an Zeichen für die Zeile URL im Quellentyp Website auf eine bestimmte Anzahl begrenzt.
Ich möchte in den .XSL-Dateien aus dem Ordner Bibliography/Style die maximale Anzahl an Zeichen für die Zeile "URL" erweitern.
Wo ist dieser Parameter, im VBA-Code, definiert?
Vielen Dank
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
- Are you able to share the URL here? I would be happy to do some testing for you and see if I can find a solution. I’ve never encountered this and would like to duplicate the problem and work with it.
Hello,
thats the original link:
and that is the link that was cut from WORD:
Thank you for sharing. This is an new issue to me that I've never encountered before. I did some searching for you off and on over the last few hours, and I've found that this is a known issue that comes up. The APA style guide appears to have specific examples/rules for handling situations like yours. See this web page for example.
I do not know what writing style guide you may be using. The above link is for APA style. I am most familiar with the Chicago Manual of Style. CMOS § 14.10 states:
. . . shortened versions of a URL provided by third-party services (and intended primarily for use with social media) should never be used. Not only are such services prone to disappear, but the original URL identifies the domain name and other elements that may be important to the citation. Publishers, however, may choose to make an exception . . .
So, I would say maybe first check with whatever writing style guide you are applying because they may allow for you to use a URL shortening service or provide some other direction you can look in for a solution to your problem.
If that does not provide a solution, then the only idea that I have for you is to note which hyperlinks you need to come back and fix later and continue to add your sources like normal. When you are done, build the bibliography. After it is built, you can use the drop down in the content control to convert the bibliography to static text and then go back through and manually place the full URL(s) in where you need them, because now the bibliography will no longer be a field. This may be inconvenient, but I think it may be the best/most practical solution. I tested this using your URL and the URL worked and everything this way.
